THE LABOR MOVEMENT.

As it appears determined in quarters
where the influence lies 10 have a labor
candidate for the Presidency, it is wise
for the working men 10 think seriously OF
the possible character Of their position.
OF course Henry George and the leaders
of the masses of organized working
men will raise the cry Of oppression by
monopoly. But if a labor party is put
ON any but a clearly defined statement
OF grievances, truthful in fact, reasonable
in conclusion, and just in demand, the
result will be that the most intelligent of
the working men will perceive that they
a-e retrograding instead Of advancing
They have been advancing for long
time and more rapidly than amy past

We have pointed ont plainly that great
deal of what is charged 10 the grasping
cruelty of capital is chargeablc TO the
natural working of the division of labor

is no sense i'm calling down on man the
manufactured curses of all manual work

instances are too numerous to cite.
Great fortunes and great regulations
are made every day by manual laborers.

SCENES or THE TRIAL
The jury IN the Ceary trial retired for sulta-
tion at twelve minutes past o'clock last night.
At 1:4O q. m. Judge Barrett left the Court House
and the jury were locked up for the night. Cleary
was taken to the Tombs by Under Sheriff Sexton
and Order of Arrest Clerk Bernard Martin. The
court will sit this morning at II o'clock. when
some report is hoped from the perplexed Jurors
After Justice Barrett had finished his charge as
1O:4O Mr.. Shafer presented seventy-nine requests
to charge, the majority of which he read. Some of
them were so worded as to appear misleading, and
in accepting them Justice Barrett added explana-
tions IN accordance with the principles already
land down by him. The lawyer took numerous ex-
ceptions to phrases used in the charge and finally
said
ask your Honor to charge that IL they have
received any impression as to your Honors opinion
in regard to the facts of the case they must give
no weight to it,"
"Well." said Justice Barrett. "this is the first
time that was ever asked to so charge and don't
know what the motive may be in asking 1t; but
see no objection. and l do SO charge. You are tho
sole judges Of the facts gentlemen
"Iexcept" said Mr.. Shafer, Ito your Honors
saving you see no objection. and except to what
YOU say about MOTIVE My only motive is my duty
10 my client"
Having thus delivered himself the great objcctor
finally sat down.
The second juror inquired: ''Your Honor, must
we consider tho evidence of Fullgraff and Duffy
and accept 1t IL 1t appears reasonable and probable,
no matter how distasteful IL may be TO usf
To this the Judge responded in the affirmative
and the Jury fled out. Justice Barrett retired to
his private room. Clcary, who now wore an ex-
tremcly detected look. waited in an adjoining room
with his counsel.
Many of the spectators after lingering awhile
went home Those who remained assembled in
groups in the courtroom or in the corridors and
talked over the probabilities of the case.
The time from 11:30 p. m to 1 a. m.
dragged heavily for the few friends OF Cleary
and the curious who stayed in the court
room for the chance of verdict. Judge Barrett
said at II o'clock that he would wait for
an hour or two for the jury to come in. TX
there was no sign Of verdict then he would order
the Jurors to be locked up for the night and 60
home himself.
Alta. m. there was no sign of an agreement,
though tine court was still open and the
corridors were we'll filed with loun-
gers Ceary was in the adjoining court room,
